CES Social Media in action – Twitter feed at blogger lounge

Originally uploaded by JoeDuck

This screen, located in the blogger’s lounge at LVCC at the CES show, displays Tweets that relate to CES. This year the CES folks are experimenting even more with social media and it’ll be interesting to see how all that shakes out.

The press / blogger / buzz continuum here offers a great look into how journalism is being reshaped, though it’s really hard to generalize about what we’ll see in the future as “citizen journalists” and tech hobby folks begin to dominate the info landscape. I think some of the best innovations may come as traditional journalists figure out the best ways to leverage new media to bring quality content at lower costs. However they will need to feed their families while they figure that out, and I predict this means we’ll continue to see mainstream journalists under pressure even as blogging journalism thrives.

I’m in the Las Vegas Convention Center blogging lounge at CES a nice venue as it was last year. The Venetian lounge is going to be crowded as it appears they have eliminated the press room at that venue so we’ll have both Press and bloggers sharing limited resources over at Venetian. I’m with some CEA bloggers at our Cirque du Soleil KA tour today so i’m hoping to get some insight into the blogging / press / CES continuum.

Shout out to Novatel Wireless for sponsoring these lounges which are a nice refuge from the maelstrom of exhibits here at the show.

Vizio booth assembly at CES Las Vegas

Having some problems posting to Technology-Report so here’s a picture of 1/2500 of the CES show – a single booth setup here at the Las Vegas Convention Center. CES is the most important (and by some measures the largest) Tech show of the year and Vegas’ biggest show as well.

I’m usually here a few days early and it’s fascinating to watch how Las Vegas shifts from slow gears in the week following New Years to super high gear for CES, when the town fills with over 100,000 here for the show.
